NOTES: Transportation-related goods are motor vehicles and parts, aircraft and spacecraft and
parts, railway vehicles and parts, and ships and boats.

All dollar amounts are in current dollars. These data have not been adjusted for inflation because there
is no specific deflator available for transportation-related goods. In addition, it is difficult to
control for trading partners' inflation rates as well as currency exchange fluctuations when adjusting
the value of internationally traded goods and services for inflation.
